Exp loss on death topics are getting out of hand.

Tough and challenging yes. Painful and seemingly impossible? No game should make you suffer or frustrate you this much.

Tell that to the thousands of folks who regularly get to level 100 each and every league....even in SSF. Sometimes with multiple characters. Frustration and suffering in a game is almost exclusively the feeling of someone who simply isn't good enough yet. Again, an indication that the exp penalty is doing its job.

You're just wrong about the oneshots, PoE 2 is full of them lmao

Also enjoy your dead game with Ruthless player numbers if GGG refuses to make some big changes in the game during EA and stick to their "Vision". This exp loss and 1 death per map bs is what will be the thing that makes most people quit. Why do you think Hardcore doesn't have that many players? Just take a few minutes and really analyze that. People do not like losing progress on death, forcing pseudo-hardcore onto softcore players=players quit.

Yes, you people keep saying dead game. Its been 2 weeks I think? and Steam player count alone is saying otherwise. POE 2 has many one shots? I was farming Xesht difficulty 4 and he isn't one shotting me? I'm doing delirious breach t15+ and haven't gotten one shot? Maybe I can help with your build? Your recent replies to threads suggest that you are really in need of a break.

Kinda wild that the player numbers are worse than destiny 2 lol

Maybe because Destiny 2 dropped new Act two days ago while in PoE 2 we still wait?

Punishing players for death has disastrous consequences. It kills creativity and courage, and people start playing conservatively, overly cautiously, just to avoid losing experience points, and so on. In a game like this, people should be encouraged to make bold moves, not to be frustrated and demotivated. I finished the campaign and was thrilled. The moment I saw myself losing experience points for death, I knew it was over. I'm not going to waste my time, energy, or money on people who don't respect my time or sanity. PoE2 is doomed to failure, and it hasn't even gotten off to a good start yet. You'll remember my words in a few years when a similar product comes out, but one run by people who understand gamers better. They'll make a fortune, and PoE2 will be left with only a handful of masochistic fanatics building their self-esteem through video games.
